WHAT A PAIR

[Julian de'Courcy]

Two characters on the jetty. The fisherman and the local magistrate.
Shot taken after the usual banter with a few laughs and possibly home truths about the local situation.

Great to see you shooting film, Julian. Great characters there.

Thanks Rob. It's an old plastic camera I picked up yesterday and quickly shot a roll to see if it works. It does of sorts but have a feeling it may not focus correctly. That presumption is made because the green light for focus confirm does not light up, ever. But I quite like the poor lens and grainy results.

This shot looks in focus enough. Film is more forgiving.

A characterful pair and a damned fine shot which is balanced beautifully in my opinion. I wonder of the 'cheap' camera helped with the relaxed pose.

So, I wonder if he wears that hat in court?

True, Pete, we all made assumptions about which fellow was the fisherman, which the magistrate.

Thanks Pete, yes perhaps they were laughing at the camera, I still suspect it was me though.

I could not possibly comment

Although he is not called Mokom nor is he Scottish as the video title suggests.

I assume it wasn't done by a pro then!

“A man was fishing and caught a fish. The fish was so small he threw it back in the water and for the first time in its life the fish realized it was swimming in something.”

I assume it wasn't done by a pro then!
